Awesome Poster For Horror Pic ‘Sinister’ Released

17 hours ago | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

From those wholesome folk that brought you Paranormal Activity and Insidious we have a scary looking poster for their latest Sinister. It follows a struggling true crime author – aren’t they all? – who in search of his next story, moves his family to a house where a family was brutally murdered – as you do – and needless to say supernatural and horrific things entail. Sounds like a reasonably original twist on the horror genre and we at Thn love a bit of a fright so we’re excited to see the finished product, especially looking at the imaginative and creepy poster below:

Sinister also stars Juliet Rylance, James Ransone (Inside Man) and Vincent D’Onofrio (Full Metal Jacket) and is directed by Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism Of Emily Rose) with a release date of 5th October, just in time for Halloween.

Anne Hathaway Packs into Catwoman Outfit in More Promos for The Dark Knight Rises

29 May 2012 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »

Another new pleasing threesome of character promotional posters for Chris Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises' have been revealed by the folks over at Cbm. The new pics give us a double glimpse at the tightly packed leather-bound Catwoman played by hottie Anne Hathaway as well as another new snap of Christian Bale geared up as our caped crusader. The new assets are similar to the comic book styled promo posters we saw a few weeks back which I still think take away that expected real world feel that Nolan's Batman projects have encompassed in the past. 'The Dark Knight Rises' also stars Tom Hardy ('Inception'), Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt ('Looper'), Michael Caine, Juno Temple ('Year One'), Liam Neeson, Marion Cotillard, Joey King and Matthew Modine ('Full Metal Jacket'). Check out the new poster below. »

'The Dark Knight Rises' stars Christian Bale, Tom Hardy ('Inception'), Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt ('Looper'), Michael Caine, Juno Temple ('Year One'), Liam Neeson, Marion Cotillard, Joey King and Matthew Modine ('Full Metal Jacket').

Cast Files into the Mall: Peter Stormare, Gina Gershon and More!

9 May 2012 5:19 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

More casting news has hit the wire for Linkin Park member Joe Hahn's directorial debut Mall, and we've got the skinny for you right here, free of texting teenagers and lunatics jumping out of kiosks to spray things on you. Dig it!

Variety reports that Gina Gershon (Showgirls) and Peter Stormare (pictured right; Constantine, Fargo) have stepped in to replace Chelsea Handler and Eric Bogosian (the latter wrote the 2001 novel on which the indie film is based) due to scheduling conflicts. They join the previously announced Vincent D'Onofrio (Full Metal Jacket; The Cell), Cameron Monaghan ("Shameless"), James Frecheville (Animal Kingdom), India Menuez, Mimi Rogers (Ginger Snaps, "The X-Files"), and Gbenga Akinnagbe ("The Wire").

Bogosian's debut novel follows five suburban strangers whose paths cross over the course of one hellish night at a shopping mall, where a drug-addled madman (Frecheville) goes on a shooting spree.

Monaghan will play a teen stoner, »

More Action, More Bane and More Hathaway in The Dark Knight Rises Trailer

1 May 2012 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »

Warner Bros Pictures have unveiled yet another new trailer for Christopher Nolan's final Batman chapter 'The Dark Knight Rises' which at least helps blot out the memory of those tacky looking promo stills they released last week. The sweet new third trailer features plenty more glimpses of both Tom Hardy ('Inception') as nemesis Bane and the leather-clad Anne Hathaway (below) as Catwoman. 'The Dark Knight Rises' sees Christian Bale ('American Psycho'), Michael Caine, Gary Oldman ('Bram Stoker's Dracula') and Morgan Freeman ('Seven') all return to their previous roles and are joined by a slew of new faces as well that include Joseph Gordon-Levitt ('Looper'), Marion Cotillard ('Inception') and Matthew Modine ('Full Metal Jacket'). »

The Dark Knight Rises: Record IMAX Footage

26 April 2012 5:27 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Christian Bale, The Dark Knight Rises The Dark Knight Rises will have more IMAX footage than any other Hollywood movie in history. As per a Wall Street Journal report, Christopher Nolan’s third and last installment in his Batman trilogy will offer more than one hour of scenes filmed with those cumbersome IMAX cameras. For comparison’s sake, The Dark Knight, the biggest 2008 blockbuster at the domestic box office, had 40 minutes of IMAX footage. But what’s the big IMAX deal? After all, movies such as Tim Burton / Johnny Depp / Mia Wasikowska’s Alice in Wonderland, James Cameron / Sam Worthington’s Avatar, Gary Ross / Jennifer Lawrence / Josh Hutcherson’s The Hunger Games, and Bill Condon / Robert Pattinson / Kristen Stewart’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 were all shown on IMAX screens. And upcoming IMAX releases include Joss Whedon / Chris Evans / Chris Hemsworth’s The Avengers, Ridley Scott / Noomi Rapace / Michael Fassbender’s Prometheus, »

Batman and Bane Battle Amongst Some New Promo Pics from The Dark Knight Rises

26 April 2012 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »

The ending to Christopher Nolan's triumphant comic book to feature trilogy reboot of Batman is almost upon us. 'The Dark Knight Rises' concludes the fantastic series of films from the British director and it arrives in theatres this July. Some new promotional artwork from the movie has been provided by Warner Bros. but surprisingly it's not exactly in keeping with the quality of what I believe we should expect from the Nolan's final vision when it arrives finally on the big screen. The very tacky looking foursome of promo pics which almost cartoonize Batman and his Gotham based surroundings can be viewed below which include an in-action battle pose between our winged hero (played by Christian Bale) and Bane, his villainous nemesis this time around played by 'Mad Max: Fury Road' star Tom Hardy. 'The Dark Knight Rises' co-stars Michael Caine, Gary Oldman ('Bram Stoker's Dracula »

The Dark Knight Rises, Spider-man Trailers: The Avengers

25 April 2012 4:04 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Tom Hardy, The Dark Knight Rises Warner Bros.’ The Dark Knight Rises got a nice plug when six minutes of footage premiered before IMAX screenings of Paramount’s Tom Cruise blockbuster Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. (One could also say that MI4 got a boost from the Tdkr footage as well.) On May 4, The Dark Knight Rises trailer 3 will premiere before screenings of Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, a Marvel production to be released by Walt Disney Studios. But Batman is a DC comics character, how could that be? Well, good business sense. That’s it. And remember, as MTV.com explains, back in 2008 The Dark Knight trailer was shown before Marvel’s Iron Man. And it gets better for fanboys, fangirls, and fanseniors: the new The Amazing Spider-Man trailer will also be screened before The Avengers. The rebooted Spider-Man has been much less buzzed about than either The Avengers, which »

The Dark Knight Rises: CinemaCon Thunderous Applause

24 April 2012 9:43 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Christian Bale, The Dark Knight Rises The Dark Knight Rises was a hit at CinemaCon on Tuesday. According to TheWrap’s Brent Lang, Tdkr director / co-writer Christopher Nolan "spliced together a nearly wordless series of shots that showed the caped crusader (Christian Bale) duking it out with Bane (Tom Hardy), tangling with a very sultry Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) and once again being called on to save Gotham City from the brink of anarchy." Lang adds that "the applause that greeted the footage was thunderous, so much so that Warner Bros. might think about using it as a trailer." EW.com offers a few more details about the Dark Knight Rises footage, including the following: The clips began with an extended scene of Bane … and his crew hijacking a plane in an innovative way. Then it cuts to a series of shots showing Christian Bale as an aging — and perhaps ailing — Batman. »

The Dark Knight Rises cover: Catwoman (Anne Hathaway), Batman (Christian Bale) This Entertainment Weekly cover featuring The Dark Knight Rises‘ Batman (Christian Bale) and Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) has been floating around online for some time. We’ve finally posted it. One of the most eagerly awaited 2012 releases, The Dark Knight Rises is expected to become one of the year’s top grossers — if not the top grosser. Following his Batman stints in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, Christian Bale returns as The Caped Crusader. Anne Hathaway, a Best Actress Oscar nominee for Jonathan Demme’s Rachel Getting Married, shows up in this one as The Masked Saracen or some such.

'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' and 'Shame' Lead This Week's New DVD and Blu-ray Releases

17 April 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol It makes me a little sad I don't really care whether I own Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol or not. It had a few moments I enjoyed, but the film overall was good enough for a one time watch and that's about it. And this is coming from someone that enjoys watching all three of the previous Mission films. Speaking of which, you know you could just buy the first three on Blu-ray for $29.49 and skip the fourth altogether. If I didn't already own the Blu-ray trilogy that's what I would do. And if you wanted to do that, just click here and do it. I support you 100%.

 

Shame I've watched it twice and it is a great movie, but not exactly one that needs to be part of a home movie collection. Steve McQueen's films just don't scream out for you to watch them again, »

'Beautiful Creatures' Gets New Lead, 'Beetlejuice 2' Continues On

12 April 2012 10:09 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

The lead love interest for Richard Lagravenese's "Beautiful Creatures" — an adaptation of the young adult supernatural romance novel (also a series) by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl — has been replaced. Jack O'Connell has left the project due to scheduling conflicts, and Alden Ehrenreich is stepping in.

The "Twixt" and "Tetro" actor will be starring as Ethan — in love with local girl Lena. Both teens uncover dark secrets about their families and the town they live in. Ethan also happens to have a nasty ex-girlfriend, who enacts some "Mean Girls-style" revenge against Lena. We previously reported that Jeremy Irons is also starring in the film, along with Viola Davis, Emma Thompson, Thomas Mann, and Emmy Rossum. Are you in the mood for a supernatural star-crossed lovers story, or have you had your fill of all things "Twilight-esque" for a while?

Daily Briefing. Previewing "Moonrise Kingdom" and "Prometheus"

10 April 2012 12:45 PM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »

Two of the most eagerly anticipated films of 2012 would have to be Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, set to open Cannes on May 16, and Ridley Scott's Prometheus, opening wide in early June. For Entertainment Weekly, Rob Brunner gets a few words with Edward Norton and Anderson, who tells him that there are "two movies that I really love that were both kind of huge inspirations for Moonrise Kingdom. One is a movie called Black Jack that's directed by Ken Loach. The other one is another British movie that's the first thing Alan Parker ever did. He wrote the script. It's called Melody. They're both movies that I only found as I worked on this story. I was looking for movies that are about pre-teenage romance. And there's a Truffaut movie Small Change. That's really one of the inspirations for this movie, because it's what made me start thinking about doing this sort of story. »

'Iron Lady,' 'Streetcar' and 'Darkest Hour' Arrive on DVD and Blu-ray This Week

10 April 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

A Streetcar Named Desire (60th Anniversary Edition) It isn't the best week for new releases, but there are a couple of catalog titles worth considering, one a bit more likely to catch your interest than the other, which would be Warner's new Blu-ray release of A Streetcar Named Desire. When it comes to Marlon Brando's career The Godfather is most likely the film most associate with the actor, but I have to assume A Streetcar Named Desire is right there with On the Waterfront and Apocalypse Now if the "Family Feud" poll was to ask 100 people to "Name a Film Marlon Brando Starred In." I didn't get a chance to see this new transfer, but I think, for now, I'm quite satisfied with my DVD edition of the film since it isn't one I feel the need to return to all that often, though writing about it now is »

Vincent D'Onofrio and Linkin Park DJ Joe Hahn Head to the Mall

9 April 2012 5:41 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

There hasn't been a good psycho on a killing spree movie in quite some time, but that could be changing relatively soon thanks to the new flick on its way called Mall.

According to Bloody Disgusting, actor Vincent D'Onofrio (pictured right; Full Metal Jacket; The Cell) is both executive producing and starring in Joe Hahn's (best known as Linkin Park’s DJ) genre pic that heads to the Mall.

Penned by Joe Vinciguerra and Sam Bisbee, the indie project that’s described as a dark drama follows the empty and sordid lives of various mall-goers which are brought into stark relief when a disgruntled former tuxedo shop employee goes on a massive killing spree. The flick will feature the music of Linkin Park.

Doing some digging, we discovered that the pic will also star Cameron Monaghan ("Shamless"), James Frecheville (Animal Kingdom), India Menuez, and Michael Kenneth Williams (The Road, »

Stanley Kubrick: Master of Contradictions

9 April 2012 11:53 AM, PDT | The Moving Arts Journal | See recent The Moving Arts Journal news »

Who are the great American film directors? More to the point, who do we think are the great American film directors? Well, there’s Ford, of course, the Zeus of the American pantheon, by turns comic, epic, maudlin and humane. Then there’s Welles, the ill-fated genius, abused by producers but beloved of critics. Spielberg, even in his seventh decade, is still the boy wonder; Scorsese the mad scientist. Griffith is the wise forefather, deeply flawed but idolized nonetheless, while Hawks is ageless, just as sly and self-assured as he was at the time of “The Big Sleep” (1946).

Kubrick, however, beats them all.

Is there anyone more respected or, with the possible exception of Hitchcock, recognizable? Turn on any Stanley Kubrick movie and you should know instantly, whether you’ve seen it before or not, who the film’s director is. The peerless, pristine images; the long, empty corridors; the upturned, »

The Dark Knight Rises Rated PG-13?

8 April 2012 1:58 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Tom Hardy, The Dark Knight Rises The Dark Knight Rises has been rated PG-13 "for intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language," according to various online reports. Now, that Christopher Nolan's upcoming Batman movie will get a PG-13 rating is totally expected, but at this point in time the only PG-13-rated The Dark Knight Rises listed on the Motion Picture Association of America's website is The Dark Knight Rises' Prologue. That's it. The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20. A few weeks ago, Nolan reportedly screened a rough cut of the film to Warner Bros. executives. No word on whether or not the film is actually ready to be rated. The purported source for this news is a "Warner Bros. exhibitor's" site. So, either the MPAA will release an official rating to The Dark Knight Rises on Monday, or … this is another "Gary Ross is »
